Domaine de Colette, Regnie "Selection Vieilles Vignes", Beaujolais, France 2022
{organic} 100% Gamay (old vines)
BLACK CHERRY & LIP-SMACKING CRANBERRY, FLINTY ELEGANCE
Fresh and juicy, yet broad-shouldered and with a deliciously serious (and seriously delicious) structure, this Régnié from Jacky and Evelyne Gauthier embodies the contradiction between guzzlable lightness and admirable complexity shared by many of the best wines from Beaujolais. Régnié is often thought of as a kind of understudy to its more famous neighbor, Morgon – sharing similar characteristics but clocking in at consistently lower prices and more freshness. Well, this offering from Domaine Colette could quite possibly steal the show…
Serving Suggestion: Smoked rabbit loin in a dried cherry reduction with chopped saucisson. Tartin of Morels with pearl onion and Comté.
